Panini releases a new Football product in 2012 Panini Playbook Football.

Look for the top rookies of the 2012 season with the Rookie Signatures set. All cards will be numbered to 149 or less, including black parallels numbered to 1. Also look out for Accolades Signatures which features some of the best players in NFL history, these cards are numbered to 49 or less.

There will also be various relic sets including Fabled Fabrics which features NFL legends and are numbered to 99 or less. There are also prime versions numbered to 49 or less.

Don’t forget about the Rookie Booklet cards either. These cards are sure to look amazing, with a jumbo swatch, jumbo patch and autograph all on one card? Sign me up for that, these cards will be numbered to 149 or less, including Printing Press Plate 1 of 1’s.

A staple of Panini’s Football brand is back in 2012 Panini Totally Certified.

The most popular part of Panini Totally Certified is and always has been the Freshman Fabric autographs. These cards feature the top rookies and will be signed on-card. There are also Platinum Black 1 of 1 versions to be pulled!

Collectors can also look for Certified Future jersey autographs. These will also be signed on-card and will be numbered to 175 unless you pull a prime parallel, which will then be numbered to 49. Also be on the look out for Down & Dirty jersey cards numbered to 299 or less with prime versions being numbered to 49.

A real treat that will be featured in Panini Totally Certified this year are the HRX cards. These are video cards that should be highly collectible. The best part is there are autograph versions numbered to 10, or maybe you will be lucky enough to pull a 14K gold autographed HRX card numbered 1 of 1! Just imagine how nice that would look in your collection.

Each box contains 6 packs with 5 cards per pack. In each box, it will contain 1 on-card rookie autograph, 1 additional autograph as well as 4 autograph or memorabilia cards per box.

Panini is back with another year of Panini Limited Football, which has become a staple of the hobby.

The popular Materials Phenom autographed rookie cards are back! These cards feature on-card autographs and include a die cut to represent each players team. Collectors are always after these cards and they are sure to be after them once again this year.

A new feature this year is the Hog Heaven autographed set. That may sound familiar, and it should. Donruss had a set in one of their products years ago. These cards will feature authentic Football swatches that are signed in silver.

Releasing today is the newest installment of Crown Royale football from Panini. In this third year, I believe, Panini has tried to freshen up the product a bit in the design department and add some new cards to the mix.

Returning again is the highly collected Rookie Silhouettes autographed cards. These cards feature large swatches of jersey or patches and a signature on the card. Collectors love these cards and it is a top hit in every box. Also being featured are a number of NFL legends in this subset, which is a great new addition.

But making their debut in Crown Royale this year is the Panini’s Choice autographed insert. You may remember these cards if you follow Panini’s basketball products or are a fan of the past cards from Pacific. These die-cut pyramid style cards feature beautiful autographs as well and die-cut goodness.

There will also be a few new die-cut inserts along the way too along with the typical die-cut base card design. It’s a set that is definitely not square. Or some would say, cutting edge. We could work with the puns all day if we wanted to.

Each box contains four packs with each pack containing an autograph or a memorabilia card. You are guaranteed at least two autographs with one being one of the aforementioned Rookie Silhouettes cards. The others will be memorabilia or additional autographs.

Mr. Luck has had a pretty solid rookie season thus far as the number one pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Andrew Luck’s talent on and off the field must really resonate with Panini as he is the first NFL player to have an exclusive autograph and memorabilia deal with Panini Authentic.

With Luck’s addition, he joins Kobe Bryant, Blake Griffin, and Kevin Durant on the official roster of Panini Authentic exclusives. It is worth noting, this does not include trading cards. (The NFL does not allow exclusives on trading cards.) This exclusive agreement only includes memorabilia and autographed memorabilia which can now, only be bought on the Panini Authentic website.

When asked for clarification on this, Panini VP of Marketing Jason Howarth noted, “Andrew will continue to be a big part of our trading card biz – but he is exclusive for memorabilia via Panini Authentic.”
